Udeshi Tracks & Equipment (Pvt) Ltd, the authorised dealer for Shantui Construction Machinery in Sri Lanka and the Maldives, has expanded its heavy equipment portfolio with the introduction of the Shantui L55-B5 wheel loader to Sri Lanka’s construction sector.
The new machine was formally handed over to its customer by Prasanna Katuwandeniya, General Manager of Udeshi Tracks & Equipment, at a ceremony held to mark its deployment.
According to the company, the latest addition forms part of its broader strategy to provide construction and industrial customers with machinery focused on efficiency, reliability and cost effectiveness.
Looking ahead, Katuwandeniya announced that Udeshi Tracks & Equipment plans to introduce a comprehensive range of electric construction machinery to the Sri Lankan market. The move is aimed at responding to evolving customer requirements and the construction industry’s increasing focus on energy efficiency and sustainable technologies.
He noted that the company is developing its solutions with the future needs of both customers and the wider construction industry in mind, particularly as businesses seek to lower energy consumption and manage rising operational expenses.
“This is a supportive solution for future energy saving. Our solutions need to cater to the future needs and requirements of our customers as well as the industry,” said Prasanna Katuwandeniya.
He further stated that the upcoming range of electric construction machinery could deliver significant cost savings, with operating costs expected to be reduced by up to 60% and maintenance expenses by up to 70% compared with conventional diesel-powered equipment, depending on operating conditions and usage.
